It’s a strange invasion, is it okay for me to fight back?

Chapter 563 Talking to oneself
Feng Ling said nonchalantly, "The chaotic state will affect my hit rate, which is a bit of a hindrance, but it's easy to solve. At worst, I'll just attack a few more times. By the way, what's the main card of this Mo Mo you mentioned?"

“The card’s name is Fallen God, and the skill name is Flesh Cube. All the creatures he kills can be folded and stored into his body, and then become part of him as spare parts,” Meteor explained. “When I met him, he didn’t have his own mental field yet. He must have recently advanced and gained new abilities.”

Feng Ling suddenly realized, "The Flesh and Blood Cube... I see. It seems he has accumulated quite a few."

Meteor glanced at the camel caravan in the distance and said, "According to the plot, after the caravan is attacked, it will rest for two hours at the post station before setting off again. We will travel with the caravan later and protect it along the way to ensure that there are no casualties during the entire journey so that the caravan can successfully reach the next plot trigger point."

"So troublesome? How can the two of us protect such a long team?" Feng Ling frowned as she listened. "Why can the messenger and Mo Mo directly enter the sandstorm, while we have to follow the storyline?"

Meteor looked up at her. "We can also go directly into the sandstorm, but the place where the messenger and Momo are hiding is very special. There is a huge stone door there. Unless the people inside open the door, we can't get in. So we can only follow the storyline and complete the storyline tasks built into the maze. The NPCs will lead us to trigger the stone door mechanism."

Feng Ling had no choice but to nod in resignation, "Alright..."

Meteor added, "Wait for me a moment, I'm going to steal a piece of clothing to keep cool in the heat."

"Steal?" Feng Ling was slightly taken aback.

“Yes, it’s the kind of clothes you’re wearing.” Meteor glanced around discreetly and said in a low voice, “These are special items that can only be obtained after saving a caravan, but that’s too inefficient. Stealing one is much faster.”

“Your game design is quite open-ended. Well, I’ll wait for you over there…” Feng Ling strolled to the lakeside, leaned against a tree, and nodded at Liu Xing.

Without a word, the meteor melted into a black shadow and moved swiftly along the ground.

"Her cards are perfect for stealing..." Feng Ling watched the meteor leave, leaning against a tree and muttering to herself, "Gargoyles can hide, and bloodworms can slip through cracks. Once they escape, it's almost impossible to catch them again, which is why I marked her, but she doesn't seem to notice at all..."

The 2.0 version of "Mother's Longing" adds a significant side effect to the tracking: it plunges the target into nightmares, causing them to suffer mental torment.

In layman's terms, it means you dream about the things you fear most.

However, the meteor appeared normal and was clearly not mentally disturbed.

Did the meteor not sleep all night? So it accidentally avoided the side effects of the marking?
Feng Ling continued to ponder.

She entered the teleportation array and arrived in the desert. She endured the night until day, then met a camel caravan and arrived at the oasis station. Roughly estimated, the journey took more than five hours.

Why did the meteors arrive here five hours apart?

Five hours is enough time to do many things without sleeping, such as pre-battle meetings or tactical preparations. But judging from Meteor's appearance, he doesn't seem to have made thorough preparations; it's more like he's acting on his own.

When Miaomiao was around, she would bring all the pots and pans with her whenever she went out. Liuxing was so inconsiderate; she didn't bring anything for her.

Given Ye Zheng and Li Qing's style of doing things, if they knew that Meteor was going to enter the teleportation array, they would at least ask Meteor to bring them some supplies, right?

Did Meteor and Ye Zheng have a falling out?

Thinking of this, Feng Ling couldn't help but tilt her head and sigh, "Sigh... what can I do? I'm in a foreign country, and I don't know anyone here. I'll just have to stick with her for now and see how it goes."

...The meteor returned quickly.

She only managed to steal a headscarf, which wasn't as exquisite as the reward Feng Ling received from the wooden box, but it was enough for her.

Even if Feng Ling managed to steal the whole set of clothes, the size would definitely be wrong, since there were no children's clothes available here.

The camel caravan is about to set off again.

Meteor first surveyed the terrain for a while, then came back and discussed with Feng Ling: "You go to the front of the group, and I will guard the middle and rear of the group."

Feng Ling nodded: "Okay."

Meteor then cautioned her, "Try not to use your pet or your second form. These NPCs are supposed to be ordinary humans, and non-humanoid monsters will frighten them. If the team falls apart, it will be much harder to protect everyone."

Feng Ling nodded again, "Okay, I understand."

Perhaps because she was so cooperative, Meteor couldn't help but glance at her a few more times and asked suspiciously, "Don't you have any questions for me?"

Feng Ling smiled, her eyes narrowing. "What should I ask you?"

Meteor paused for a moment, then said, "I just find it strange that you don't seem to have the guardedness that a normal person should have."

“You’re wrong,” Feng Ling replied with a smile. “A normal person doesn’t guard against this or that every day. A normal person only becomes defensive when they feel threatened.”

Upon hearing this, Meteor's lips curled up slightly. "You mean, I pose no threat to you, so you don't bother to be wary of me?"

Feng Ling grinned, "You can understand it that way, hehe... Actually, I was wary of you, or more precisely, I was wary of the body you're currently using."

"You mean Huangfu Miaomiao?" Liuxing looked down at her own body. "I don't think I'm weaker than her."

“No, it’s because I wasn’t strong enough back then,” Feng Ling said with a smile. “I had just absorbed the Mother Nest Card not long before, and the alien species I encountered were all more ferocious than the last. They all wanted to kill me, so when I met Miao Miao, I was a bit overreacted. I suspected and interrogated her at any time. Later, my pollution level was slightly high, and my attitude towards her became even worse. Looking back now, although a pollution level of 29% is high, it’s not uncontrollable. My state at that time was more like a kind of irritability caused by anxiety.”

Feng Ling raised one hand and slowly moved her joints. "Strength is a good thing. It has made me more kind and gentle. I feel that my temper is getting better every day."

A mocking glint appeared in Meteor's eyes. "Has anyone ever told you that you're likely to trip up like this?"

Feng Ling paused slightly, then looked at Liu Xing in surprise, "You know what? You said something I've always wanted to do."

"What?" Meteor frowned.

"It's a real setback!" Feng Ling said excitedly. "Pride comes before a fall. The education I received from childhood forbids me from being arrogant, but I can't help it. So I've always thought, if possible, could I stumble once without losing my life, and then have a profound awakening, become humble and cautious, and overcome my arrogance and impetuosity, becoming a humble, rational, and virtuous person? Alas! But I've never had the chance to stumble. Aliens, polluted beings, the Lord of the Labyrinth—anyone who wanted to kill me, I've killed them all. My opponents are all too incompetent, making me more and more arrogant. I don't know what to do!"
